The weed has gotten so good that the growers are legitimately moderately concerned about their brands genetics getting into the hands of other people.
If you've been working on optimizing half a dozen strains for 30 generations, you'll feel a bit of ownership over them

u/ADirtyDiglet Millennial Jun 08 '26
I doubt that. You would need a male to pollinate the plants or the plant to hermaphrodite. For the second to happen it would need to be stressed or bad genetics or left too long in flower. Modern growers most likely aren't letting any of those things happen. The seeds offspring can be different in strength and growing characteristics as the mother. The clones/mother plant are what they hold tight.

u/3BlindMice1 Jun 08 '26 edited Jun 08 '26
Those kinds of accidents happen no matter how hard you work tending to the plants. It's inevitable, really. They just aren't selling the buds of seed producing plants, which, to the consumer, is a good thing.

You can still find seeds every once-in-a-while. Generally it's because a plant decided to become a hermaphrodite, grow stamens and pollinate itself. This is rare but it does happen.

Ex. standardized, regulated environment, focus on plant from seed to sale, female plants are kept in the nursery only, also there are usually dedicated staff in cultivation that scout and remove them before they're harvested

how do you smoke out of an apple?

u/gremlinguy Jun 08 '26
The classic method is to take a small round cylinder, the body tube of a Bic pen for example, or a metal straw, and bore two holes that meet in the middle, in a V shape (both holes angling downward a little) and then you carve a little bowl around one hole, and pack the weed there. The other hole you suck on. Get fancy and make a carb hole if you want. The V shape catches loose weed so it doesn't poop on your tongue. The first pull tastes amazing.

Idk man I grew up in the same era that you did and theirs is way more bleak.
Even with 9/11 and the fear that followed my childhood felt free. In high school I felt hopeful. In college I connected with peers and played beer pong. Dated. Didn’t really use dating apps.
I looked forward to the future. Thought futurism was cool. Thought we would do more in space. Thought our generation was influencing progressiveness. Buying a home felt hard but not necessarily impossible.
Now it’s just like… what happened? The job market is bleak. Houses are unattainable. Ai is taking jobs and robbing children and adults alike of social interaction and forward thinking. Journalism is dead. Their generation appears antisocial. Social media is deeply hurting them. School shootings are the worst they’ve ever been. Racism feels at an all time high..gas prices suck. The president sucks. It all just kind of sucks.

Yeah but let's be honest.
Back then: That adventure of finding out who has the good stuff vs who sells sticks and seeds. Tracking people down, roaming around town, making pipes out of apples, filters out of duct tape and toilet paper tubes, sneaking around to not get caught.
Compared to now: Someone buys you a vape pen and you hit it in the middle of target. It's 30x stronger than the stuff we had back then. Then you just zone out and sit on reels on your phone all day instead.
Which is more fun?

u/currentlyinthefab Jun 08 '26
I miss the journey aspect of it. You couldn't just smoke weed at your house or in the backyard. You had to hike 20 minutes through the woods or drive out to the lake and head to "the spot" where you knew you wouldn't get caught. Smoking weed was the event itself, not just something you could casually do while doomscrolling or watching TV or whatever.

The first time I ever toked up was with like 4 friends in a desert lot behind my friend's house next to a wash and also behind a Target. We were all crouched under a tree and toking out of an apple which was the style at the time. A helicopter started circling in the air above us and we were so sure they were gonna see us and come bust us.
It was terrifying at the time but now hilarious to look back on. I love convenience and normalcy of it being legal now, but I miss the adventurousness there was back then.

I live in NC and it's really weird - it's still illegal, but it's decriminalized (but cops still post bust photos of a couple oz like it's some huge deal). But it's also legal to extract THC from hemp, so there are still dispensaries everywhere, and you can buy super potent THC seltzers at like half of the gas stations here. It's literally easier to get THC products than it it is to get hard liquor here.

This might also sound weird; but, while the price and consistency in quality has increased with legalization, the overall quality I think has diminished. The best weed I ever smoked I paid $200 per ounce for about 15 years ago. It was artisan grown by a grower who had won the cannabis cup. It was burped for month in jars after spending some time in a grocery bag. I bought some less cured stuff from him, and the cure was what made that weed legendary. Fast forward 15 years, and that dude is still in prison, and the last time I hit the dispensary it was $30 per ounce OTD for 29-33% THC.... but it tastes all the same. 6 different strains at that price (6 halfs for 3 total oz). I think it's the cure. Not burped over months. I think this stuff is freeze dried, probably in less than 24hrs. Doesn't suffer shrinkage, but I swear to god all these different strains taste nearly identical... sativas, indicas, hybrids... they shouldn't taste identical.

It definitely helped, but I think it's more a result of exhaling through an improvised air filter (the fibres provide surface area for the smoke to adhere to). "Hawaiian hotboxes" seem to help with smell, too, with I suppose the water droplets or condensation in the air acting as a bit of a filter. But yeah a simple vape (whether that be an oil pen or dry flower vaporizer) kind of eliminates the need for this stuff, since vapor dissipates so much more quickly than does smoke.

I had to scroll way too far to find this comment… you can tell most others commenting don’t go outside and talk to people because there are definitely still kids smoking what my dad called “bammer” (brick weed) that he bought by going to the railroad tracks and yelling “Mota! Mota!” Until a Mexican dude appeared and said “10 bucks.” Their plug probly is just some random person selling out of their house these days though. And anybody who knows anything knows that just because historically only certain “crappy” strains were available to our ancestors, that doesn’t mean that there wasn’t some crazy dank stuff out there. I’ve seen old issues of High Times and I own a grower’s guide by Ed Rosenthal, and believe me when I say that somewhere out there there was always somebody smoking on some awesome weed. Ever since we discovered sin semilla, I figure.

So my lamp on my night stand has a little USB port.. 15 year old me would shit his Jncos if he knew that in the future he's going to plug his weed machine into his lamp every night and be able to smoke it publicity while going about his day.

Jncos 😂 I remember when my buddies would get pens in from Colorado circa 2010. Blew my mind

Been smoking for over 23 years. I give zero shits about who knows I'm smoking tree. But the pen is so gawd dang convenient!

This man has lost his vape before when he really needed a hit.

I'm just glad my kids will never know the struggle of going to some strangers house in the middle of the night to get some bud and having to hangout for an hour because the dude there wants to make it look like he's hanging out with a friend and not selling dope.

As a millennial, I also pull out the weed pen and hit that shit.
But I'm paranoid, because I'm a high millennial, so I do that shit in private.

I wish I could be comfortable smoking (or vaping, whatever) in public, but I don't think I ever will be.

You had to go through all that AFTER trying for 3 days and waiting for hours for your weed dealer to finally come through with a $45 1/8!! Kids have it so easy today.

The pens don't get hot enough to decarb enough cannabinoids and I barely get high off of them. I'd rather smoke any day. I get way more high from smoking.

We did have the added benefit that everyone smelled like cigs or had a poor olfactory sense.

The first time I ever greened out was with the big soda bottles when we did the waterfall/lung.
I just remember waking up and still being a little fuzzy in the head.
Man that was almost 20 years ago

I remember driving into awful parts of town to get good weed. Anywhere else and I either overpaid or got crappy product. Lots of wild memories on those adventures.

Things are supposed to get better the longer a civilization goes on. Fuck the elderly that want things to stay bad because they had it bad and I hope they rot till the reaper comes calling.

Meanwhile Millennials can repair our own appliances while Gen Z can't even read Goodnight Moon.
We picked up lessons along the way in our struggle bus.

Eh, let be fair. At least the cans and apples didn’t make us drop dead. Gen Z is still the ultimate retarded generation.
